The Greek Cypriot government claims to be the government of all Cyprus and is generally accepted as such, except by the Turkish community.

The Turkish Cypriots offered to hand back about 4% of the 35% of the territory they controlled and to resettle 40,000 of the 200,000 refugees who had fled to the north, but stalemate was reached on a constitutional settlement.

A UN report, published in 1994, placed the blame for the collapse of the peace talks on the Turkish Cypriot side, and in July 1994 the European Court of Justice ruled that all direct trade between northern Cyprus and the European Union was illegal.

The main reason for the grave violation of Turkish Cypriot human rights by the Greek Cypriot Administration of Southern Cyprus is their illegal usurpation, since 1963, of the title of "Government of the Republic of Cyprus".

Although the embargoes are imposed or instigated by the Greek Cypriot administration, the international community, whether intentionally or not, participates in them in consequence of their treatment of the Greek Cypriot side as if it were the "legitimate government of the whole of Cyprus".

As a result of the unwarranted Greek Cypriot claim that all ports in the TRNC are "illegal", the international community restricts not only the freedom of movement of Turkish Cypriots but also the freedom of movement of visitors who would like to come to the TRNC.

However, during early 1975 the Turkish Cypriots who had remained in the free areas of the Republic were impelled by their leadership to move to the occupied part of Cyprus.

Turkish Cypriots who reside in the occupied part of Cyprus and are employed in the areas controlled by the Government are eligible for receiving the same benefits as Greek Cypriots.

The Turkish Cypriots are also eligible for the assistance of 1,000 CP provided by the Government to all Cypriot citizens pursuing University education.

The executive, for example, was headed by a Greek Cypriot president, Archbishop Makarios III, and a Turkish Cypriot vice president, Dr Fazıl Küçük, elected by their respective communities for 5-year terms and each possessing a right of veto over certain types of legislation and executive decisions.

In acknowledgement of the Turkish Cypriot community's support for reunification, however, the EU made it clear that trade concessions would be reached to stimulate economic growth in the north, and remains committed to reunification under acceptable terms.

The majority of Cypriots receive their higher education at Greek, British, Turkish, EU and US universities, while there are also sizeable emigrant communities in the United Kingdom and Australia.

On the referendum, the proposed reunification was favoured by the Turkish Cypriots by a majority of 2 to 1, but was rejected by the Greek Cypriots by a 3 to 1 margin.

The Turks proceeded and the military invasion of Turkish forces (claiming their authority was as one of the 3 international guarantors of Cyprus), 195,000 majority Greek Cypriots were forcibly expelled from the north and 55,000 Turkish Cypriots from the south were similarly forced to the north.

The majority of Cypriots earn their higher education at Greek, Turkish, British, or US universities, while there are also sizeable emigrant communities in the United Kingdom and Australia.

The Turkish Cypriot people were relived from this suffering by the timely intervention of Turkey in 1974 which was undertaken in accordance with her rights and obligation under the 1960 Treaty of Guarantee.

The strong and sound “no” referendum result in the Greek Cypriot side proved beyond doubt that, in overwhelming majority, neither the Greek Cypriot people nor their political leaders shall ever be ready to enter into a power-sharing arrangement with the Turkish Cypriots.

Thus the Greek Cypriots who organized themselves under their own constitutional order and within their boundaries cannot be the legitimate government representing the whole of Cyprus and the Turkish Cypriots.

Each dynasty contains a list by name of all the rulers and a concise assessment of its historical significance.

This volume will be useful to scholars of Arabic dialectology and also to those concerned with any kind of literature produced in al-Andalus, as well as Romance scholars who may find the solution to many an etymological riddle here.

The problem at the heart of the matter is the fact that Greek Cypriots are demanding certain guarantees be implemented by Turkey of which they want listed in the Dec. 17 European Union summit declaration.

That is why the dialogue between those EU countries appears to be trying to appease the Greek Cypriots and those who are angry with the temerity of the Greek Cypriots.

If the Greek Cypriots succeed in including their demands in the EU summit declaration, this will mean the bankruptcy of the union's Cyprus policy and its replacement with a policy of flmail.

Greek Cypriot media reported that "the names of the seven other sets of remains identified after the exhumations had been known at the time of burial in 1974, but had somehow been lost since then, the ministry statement indicated." Reports also said that 4 of them died of natural causes.

It is ironic that for over 25 years all Greek Cypriot governments and politicians have been allowed by the international community to use the issue of the so called missing people in the international arena to gain political advantages against the Turkish Cypriot side and put Turkey into the chair of guilty.

The cases submitted to the CMP at that time shows that all the Turkish Cypriots were civilians while 898 of the Greek Cypriots were military, which shows that most of the Greek Cypriots died either due to the fighting amongst themselves or against the Turkish side.

One Turkish Cypriot took off for the town centre on his bicycle and was waved off by a Greek Cypriot wishing him a happy sightseeing tour.

Turkish Cypriots at their end were being processed quickly, and by 9.15am 30 had been cleared to cross.

It was almost another two hours before the first Greek Cypriot was able to cross into the north because the Turkish Cypriots were simply not prepared, and the fact that it was a public holiday, Bayram, didn't help.

These missing Greek Cypriots were arrested by the Turkish army and/or by Turkish Cypriots under the control and command of Turkey's armed forces.

The Turkish Government, in its refusal to recognize its obligation to account for the fate of Greek Cypriots held in its custody, is guilty of one of the most heinous crimes against humanity the crime of enforced disappearance; a crime which has been recognized internationally, and is not subject to time limitation.

The speedy and effective implementation of this law must result in the full accounting of what happened to the five Cypriots with American citizenship and lead to their return to their families "...including returning the remains of those who are no longer alive".

The politics of the construction of gender identities in late modernity refer to a dynamic and non-dichotomous notion of embodiment where identity is a durable but not immutable form.

She also raises questions about the politics of speech, she points out that the subject in speech is not simply its own speech but it speaks a life of discourse and it is installed, as it were, in a life of discourse that exceeds the subject's own temporality.

Potentialities for resistance are limited according to Cypriot students since dominant forms of speech and conduct are situated within a specific cultural milieu of power relations.

Following a decision of the Cyprus cabinet, a list of all the missing persons since the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974 will be released soon.

The announcement was made by Cypriot foreign minister Yannakis Kasoulidis, who underlined that the families of the 126 missing Cypriots -whose names were initially in the list, but later withdrawn and not submitted in the list of enquiry committee- would be notified.

In a separate development, Cypriot defence minister Socrates Hasikos is scheduled to meet with the EU representative on EU common foreign and defence policy, Xavier Solana, in Brussels on Wednesday.

All of the Turkish Cypriot live on the northern section of the Island of Cyprus, an island located in the Mediterranean Sea, just south of Turkey.

Almost all of the Turkish Cypriot are Muslims who practice Muslim ceremonies and follow Islamic beliefs.

Strongly devoted to Islam, the Turkish Cypriot need much prayer and dedicated workers living among them so they will know that when you die, it is not how you live, but Who lives inside of you, that will bring you to heaven.

Cypriot government spokesman Kypros Chrysostomides confirmed U.S. officials were planning to reach Cyprus through the Tymbou airport.

The Greek Cypriot government maintains it is under Turkish occupation and thus operating illegally.

The Cyprus News Agency quoted Chrysostomides as saying the Greek-Cypriot government was aware of the planned flight to Tymbou and has used diplomatic channels and Cypriot expatriates in the United States to try and prevent it.

He dismissed suggestions that Cyprus was isolated in the world arena and outlined a long list of meetings and visits to the island by heads of state, saying he did not feel isolated.

Papadopoulos said any measures to be taken should aim at reunification and pointed out that the government would never agree to two separate states in Cyprus, and said he did not believe that the EU would accept it either.

Concluding he said, that the Greek Cypriots failed to be satisfied by the present version of the Annan plan, but that did not lead to a rejection of a solution.

And, in that connection, we were able to get the commitment of both the leaders of the Greek Cypriot and the Turkish Cypriot community to move quickly ahead with the implementation of the U.N. package of measures to improve the security, safety situation along the cease-fire lines.

CAVANAUGH: When I was in Cyprus, I made very clear to the press after the meeting I had with the Cypriot government that, while I have gotten assurances these missiles would not be coming, not a single part for 16 months, that I had also not asked them to cancel that deal.

Many analysts have predicted that the Cypriot government has used the missile purchase as a way to get the negotiations on reuniting the island back on track.

Nicosia - Cypriots trying to thrash out a peace settlement for the ethnically-divided island have agreed on a common flag, providing a rare glimmer of hope in otherwise troubled reunification talks.

United Nations officials said on Saturday that Turkish and Greek Cypriotartists appointed by their leaders, had selected a design, not yet unveiled to the public, after going through over a thousand submissions from 44 countries.

Paying homage to Cyprus's national dish, the barbecue known locally as "souvla" and a favourite for both communities, one person submitted a drawing of two kebab skewers, he said.
